Send unparsed data in a Node JS request - node.js

Question

I want to send a POST request (for example, with the 'request' module), but I don't find a way of sending unparsed data*.
*unparsed data => copied directly from the Chrome dev tool. Something like: tipo_accion=3&filtro=descarga&fecha=actual
It would also do the trick some way of translating that string to JSON.
I've tried so far with...
var request = require('request');
request.post({ url: 'https://target.com/form/', form: 'tipo_accion=3&filtro=descarga&fecha=actual' },
function (error, response, body) {
console.log(body)
}
);
... but it didn't work.

Answer 1

Firstly you should understand the difference between the request methods post and get.
The structure that you want to send:
tipo_accion=3&filtro=descarga&fecha=actual is telling me that you want to use a get request. So the proper code for that will be something like:
request(
'https://target.com/form/&tipo_accion=3&filtro=descarga&fecha=actual',
function (error, response, body) {
console.log(body)
},
);
But if it is a post request then you should use the json format
request.post({
url: 'https://target.com/form/', form: {
tipo_accion: 3,
filtro: 'descarga',
fecha: 'actual'
},
function(error, response, body) {
console.log(body)
}
);

You can convert form_data to string format and it works for me you can try it :
const request = require('request-promise');
var j = request.jar()
var data_fom = `a=value_a&b=value_b&c=value_c`
request({
url:"https://target.com/form/",
jar:j,
method:"POST",
resolveWithFullResponse: true,
form:data_form
})
